Read and understand the


explanation carefully.

Pengertian Review Text


Mungkin sebagian orang pernah melihatnya bahkan pernah membuatnya. Review
Text adalah salah satu dari jenis teks bahasa Inggris (genre) yang ditujukan untuk
meninjau suatu karya baik berupa film, buku, benda dan lain sebagainya untuk
mengetahui kualitas, kelebihan dan kekurangan yang dimiliki karya tersebut yang
ditujukan untuk pembaca atau pendengar khalayak ramai.

Tujuan Komunikatif Review Text

Tujuan komunikatif dari Review Text adalah melakukan kritik terhadap peristiwa atau
karya seni untuk pembaca atau pendengar khalayak ramai, misalnya film, pertunjukan,
buku, dll.

Generic Structure Review Text

Setiap jenis teks bahasa Inggris (genre) memiliki ciri Generic Structure yang berbeda-beda
sesuai dengan tujuan komunikatif yang akan disampaikan kepada pembaca. Dan
untuk Generic Structure dari Review Text, terdapat 4 struktur kalimat, yaitu:

1. Introduction
Seperti jenis teks bahasa Inggris (genre) yang lainnya, pada paragraph pertama dari
sebuah Review Text berisi tentang gambaran umum tentang sebuah karya atau benda
yang akan ditinjau. Gambaran umum tentang karya atau benda tersebut bisa berupa
nama, kegunaan, dan sebagainya.

2. Evaluation
Pada Generic Structure yang kedua, Evaluation, memberikan gambaran tentang detail
suatu karya atau benda yang direview, bisa berupa bagian-bagian dari karya atau benda
tersebut, keunikan dan kualitasnya. Tapi jangan terlalu memberikan banyak deskripsi
tentang karya atau benda tersebut, karena teks review kita seakan-akan "mengajarkan"
calon pembeli dan itu tidak bagus. Evaluasi karya atu benda sejauh yang dibutuhkan oleh
pembeli adalah yang paling benar. Istilah yang digunakan dalam sturktur paragraph yang
kedua ini tidak jauh dari kata "baik" atau "tidak" karya atau benda tersebut. Pada bagian
evaluasi, biasanya terdiri lebih dari satu evaluasi.

3. Interpretation
Pada bagian ketiga ini, penulis memberikan pandangannya sendiri mengenai karaya atau
benda yang direviewnya. Tentunya phase ini dilakukan setelah melakukan evaluasi yang
cukup terhadap karya atau barang tersebut. Seringkali untuk mendukung dan
memperkuat pandangan penulis mengenai karya atau benda yang direviewnya, penulis
tersebut membandingkan karya atau benda tersebut dengan karya atau benda yang mirip.
Pada phase ini juga penulis menuliskan di bagian apa karya atau benda tersebut bernilai
atau di bagian apa karya atu benda tersebut kurang bernilai.

4. Summmary
Pada bagian ini, penulis memberikan kesimpulan kepada pembaca terhadap karya atau
benda yang telah direviewnya. Setelah memberikan penjelasan di evaluasi dan pandangan
penlis sendiri di interpretation, tibalah penulis memberikan komentar apakah karya atau
benda yang direviewnya berharga atau tidak untuk calon pembeli.

Ciri Kebahasaan (Language Features)


Pada Review Text terdapat beberapa ciri kebahasaan seperti berikut ini:
1. Menggunakan present tense.
2. Banyak menggunakan adjective (kata sipat) seperti, bad, good, valuable, etc.
3. Sering menggunakan long clause (klausa panjang) dan kompleks.

Contoh Review Text

Harry Potter: Order of the Phoenix

Orientation
I absolutely love the Harry Potter series, and all of the books will always hold a special
place in my heart.

Evaluasi 1
I have to say that of all of the books, however, this was not my favorite.

Evaluasi 2
When the series began it was as much of a "feel good" experience as a huge mug of hot
cocoa. The stories were bright, fast-paced, intriguing, and ultimately satisfying.

Interpretation
Order of the Phoenix is a different kind of book. In some instances this works...you feel a
whole new level of intensity and excitement by the time you get to the end. I was truly
moved by the last page. Other times the book just has a slightly dreary, depressing feel.
The galloping pace of the other books has slowed to a trot here, and parts of it do seem
long, as if we're reading all about Harry "just hanging out" instead of having his usual
adventures. Reading in detail about Harry cleaning up an old house, for example -
housekeeping is still housekeeping, magical or no, and I'm not very interested in doing it
or reading about other people doing it.

A few other changes in this book - the "real" world comes much more in to play rather
than the fantasy universe of the previous books, and Harry has apparently been taken off
his meds. I know that he had a lot to be grumpy in this book, especially with being a
teenager and all, but the sudden change in his character seemed too drastic. He goes from
being a warm-hearted, considerate person to someone who will bite his best friend's
heads off over nothing. It just seemed like it didn't fit with his character, like he turned
into a walking clich of the "angry teen" overnight.

Summary
The "real" story seemed to happen in the last 1/3 of the book, and this part I loved. I
actually liked the ending (and yes, I cried!) as sad as it was. It packed a punch and it made
me care about the story even more. Still a really good book, with some editing it would
have been great.

Review

Activity 1
Put the following paragraphs in the correct order to get a good text.

Then, there is school. One of Mia's biggest problems is the fact that she is
not good in Algebra and, to make matters worse, her Mom has begun dating her
teacher, Gross.

As the hilariously funny tale called The Princess Diaries begins, Mia
Thermopolis is just a regular high school freshman at Albert Einstein High School.
She is just a girl as regular as you can be when you live in a loft in downtown New
York with your flighty artist mother. And as regular as you can be when your best
friend is Lilly, a spunky girl who produces her own TV show.

The ending of The Princess Diaries is a twisty one and will leave you
interests for more stories of Mia and the rest of her friends.

Review: The Princess Diaries

Written by : Meg Cabot


Published by : Harper Collins
Pages : 304 pages
Reviewed by : Jennifer Abbots

Then one day, Mia finds out she is a princess. I know that doesn't sound bad
to most girls, but Mia hates the idea instantly. How does this fairy tale come true?
Her father is the ruler of the principality of Genovia and since Mia is his only
child, she is next in line to the throne. Her dad convinces Mia that being a
princess is what she is meant to do: her formidable grandmother comes to New
York to give Mia "Princess Lessons". And as the word spreads around Albert
Einstein High School that Mia is royalty, her life just gets crazier.

As readers can guess from the title, this book takes the form of a diary,
written by Mia. Over the span of a month, she relates her daily woes and
embarrassments in heart breaking detail. Mia thinks she is hopeless, but looks
wise. She's tall and clumsy, but not so gifted in the chest department.

In the boy department, the cutest one in school has the locker next to
hers, but doesn't even know Mia exists. Even as his snooty girlfriend Lana, a
popular cheerleader, torments her. To top it off, Mia is developing some sort of
weird crush on Michael, Lilly's computer-maniac brother

Cewek Metropolis (Drama, 90 minutes) Staring Nita Ferlina, Amalya Sutamarza,
Indah Pelapory, Ferdy Thaeras, Emmie Lemu. Directed by Effi Zein.
Four girlfriends caught in between love and money find out that in the end, money
still cant buy them love. A script has an interesting idea and could have developed into a
powerful story with an appealing twist, but it fails to exploit the moral dilemma of urban
girls survival strategy.
Kay, (Ferlina) and her friends are at a stage in their lives where they are about to
decide how to make their living and to find the answer as to whether theres such a thing
as true love. Pic gives out a message that city life is tough for gals, and that sometimes it
forces them to do the forbidden.

is very poor.

annoying hiss and terribly high-pitched voices of the actors at bay. Lisabona Rahman.

Text 3
The Review of To My Cousin Rachel
Author: Daphne duMaurer
Pages: 387
Publisher: SourceBooks Lansmark
First Released: 1951 (re-released in 2009)

From the bestselling author of Rebecca, another classic set in beautiful and
mysterious Cornwall.
Philip Ashley's older cousin Ambrose, who raised the orphaned Philip as his own
son, has died in Rome. Philip, the heir to Ambrose's beautiful English estate, is deeply
grieved that the man he loved died far from home. He is also suspicious. While in Italy,
Ambrose fell in love with Rachel, a beautiful English and Italian woman. But the final, brief
letters Ambrose wrote hint that his love had turned to paranoia and fear.
Now Rachel has arrived at Philip's newly inherited estate. Could this exquisite
woman, who seems to genuinely share Philip's grief at Ambrose's death, really be as cruel
as Philip imagined? Or, is she the kind, passionate woman with whom Ambrose fell in
love? Philip struggles to answer this question, knowing Ambrose's estate, and his own
future, will be destroyed if his answer is wrong.
This tragic historical romance is set in England during, I think, the mid-1800s. The
excellent worldbuilding and use of symbolism created a brooding, mysterious
atmosphere. The characters were realistic and sympathetic. The pacing was a bit slow
compared to modern novels, but I didn't find the novel dull.
The author very effectively uses characters' body language to convey the truth of
what's happening even when the viewpoint character, Phillip, incorrectly understands
what's going on.
I continued reading the story because I wanted to see what happened to cunning
Rachel and naive Phillip through all the misunderstandings and manipulations.
The only "problem" I had was that the first chapter doesn't make much sense until
you've read the entire book. It's more of an epilogue than a first chapter.
